Internet Radio - Song information

[Andre1 (Andre)]

Hi
I have a question about internet radio stations, which I stream with roon.
On roon it never shows the information about the song played. Is this not supported or must I configure something?
thanks

The live radio metadata seems to be hit or miss. Some work, some don’t, some provide metadata, some do not.

What is one of the stations are you listening to?

I’m not a big live radio user but checked one station yesterday and saw that the Roon info page even indicates if a station provides metadata. Maybe helpful to @Andre1

There is an issue at the moment, see

No metadata on streaming radio stations [Ticket In]

The last “2.0.12” update (" Fixed a bug in which metadata was incorrect on some internet radio stations") improved things but Live Radio metadata is still buggy. Metadata are not showing up more than often, or are displayed too late. On my Early Access core in debug mode I see a lot of “critical errors” similar to the ones reported above. Strange as until 2.0.11 Live Radio metadata was working perfectly.

Not always. The “metadata service” adds metadata for those stations which normally provide it via a separate route and not within the audio stream itself. Those stations which provide it within the stream aren’t flagged this way.
